My Flowers


"Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock."
Henry Beecher



"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into."
Henry Beecher



"Earth laughs in flowers."
Ralph Waldo Emerson



"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."
Emma Goldman



"For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant! "
Edward Abbey



"Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul."
The Koran
